The indoor flying with the Electric R/C club is on again this year. We will be flying once a month, more or less, thru November. Usually but not always the fourth Friday.

So far we have a small regular group of flyers from our club and a few occassional flyers. If you are at all interested in indoor flying come on out and see what is going on. None of us are that great yet so you won’t look foolish, there is plenty of room, and we will loan kites if necessary.
——————————————————-

The R/C flyers are forming a new club specifically for indoor flying and are asking us to join them. Ideally they would like us to make a pledge and pay up front for the season and we would essentially be members of the new club also. They have already raised the money for this season (which needed to be payed up front) and any futher money collected now from us or their members will be used to help fund next year.

This is a bit different than last year and things are still in flux. I suspect they will take money from occassional flyers on a weekly basis as before but details are still being worked out.

No official report received for the website but it was reported at the last meeting that this event was a great success with approx. 120 Frustrationless Flyers (that is all there were!) built and flown over the afternoon. There are some pictures on FaceBook I believe. Try here.

This event was supported by club members Dave and Iris Corning, Jim Robinson, and Dave Lambert.

Once again SDKC has been asked to help out at the Annual Head Start in the Park End of the Year Transition Training.

This is the usual help put kites together and kite flying help type of event.

Meeting at Noon’ish Sharp, Fly All DayLunch Yes There Will Be, Small Donations WelcomeTheme:Rev Man Games Practice. Turns out the Rev Man is on vacation and we will have to entertain ourselves with plain old kite flying.

Special Note: Orders will be taken for the 25th Anniversary T Shirts. Our rookie T Shirt Wranglers report they are planning on a limited color selection. The design will be an update to the clubs first logo. Cost was not finalized at last report so just bring all your allowance. Can’t make it to the meeting but want to order T Shirts? Let Dave and Iris know as soon as possible at president@sandiegokiteclub.com

SDKC helps out the Kiwanis by supplying demo flyers, cool kites in the air, banners on the ground, helping out people who’s kites won’t fly. Our own AKA rep Glen Rothstein is the Master of Ceremonies.

Usually officially gets underway around 10 but parking is very limited so get there early! More details will come out as this date gets closer so watch this space! (Famous Last Words)

Note: This is also SDKC’s normal meeting day so there is a pretty good chance the General Meeting will be rescheduled. You guessed it – watch this space and your postcard.

Note: This is the third Saturday due to the conflict with the OB Kite Fest!!
Note2: The meeting has been moved to Mariners Point because we are expecting a larger than normal crowd and thought parking would be easier and hopefully we will have a bit more room for flying.

Meeting at Noon’ish Sharp, Fly All Day
Yes there will be Lunch, Small Donations WelcomeTheme: Insect Kites. Due to a disagreement between the mailer and the website we did Bird kites in March and we will do Insect Kites in April. Turns out Butterflies are insects but not spiders. If your bird kite chases an insect kite allowances will be made.
